Abdul Basit had an amazing voice - i believe his recitation of Surah Rahman in Badshahi Masjid was recited infront of around 10,000 people maybe more! i have heard 50,000 too but the point is, it was a lot of people lol
i had a friend whose uncle had listened to Abdul Basit live, and he said actually being there and listening to him was 100 times better than what it sounded like on tape

Egypt has given us some excellent qaris mashallah, Mustapha Ismail, The Minshawi family and Muhammed Rifat to name just a few from the past and currently the likes of Yasir Sharqawi and the Shahat brothers
